What if there were a futures market on individual organs, should they become harvestable? What do you think the market-clearing price for, say, Mark Zuckerberg's eye would be?

Would his eye be worth more than anyone else's eye? If I needed an eye and all eyes could see equally well, I'd pay $0 over market price for Zuckerberg's. What value would his eye bring to the table that Joe Average's eye wouldn't?

That was exactly my question. Your price premium might be $0 -- rationally, I might add, but I wonder what the market's would be.

Since he's color blind I would pay below market.

Wow. "Você deve entrar primeiro.

Is Facebook suddenly feeling the threat of Orkut?
